It’s now almost 30 years since the Spice Girls burst onto the pop scene with Wannabe, their debut single. They did not go by their nicknames Ginger, Baby, Scary, Sporty, and of course, Posh at that time. The media quickly gave them those monikers.
At the end of Wannabe, they introduce themselves by their Christian names, and when Victoria is named, they sing that she is a lad-ie.
Victoria Adams, the artist soon to be known to the world as Posh Spice, did not actually sing on Wannabe. I suppose her voice was not quite up to it in comparison to the others.
Later, after Ginger left the Spice Girls, she did finally get to sing on Wannabe.
Not that it really matters. They all made their pile of cash, and no one more than Posh Spice, who chose a husband who matched her celebrity and ability to generate cash.
With David Beckham receiving his knighthood from the King this past week, his wife, who has popularly been known as Posh Spice for almost thirty years, has now officially become a Lady, just as the Spice Girls insisted when she was introduced in that song so long ago. She is now Victoria, Lady Beckham, if you want to know how exactly to address her.
And as a Commonwealth Constitutional Monarchist, this pleases me greatly.
